SAFETY FIRST

Wobble/Weave
A weave is a relatively slow oscillation of
the rear of the motorcycle, while a
wobble is a rapid, possibly strong
shaking of the handlebar. These are
related but distinct stability problems
usually caused by excessive weight in
the wrong place, or by a mechanical
problem such as worn or loose bearings
or under-inflated or unevenly worn
tires.
Your solution to both situations is the
same. Keep a firm hold on the
handlebars without locking arms or
fighting the steering. Smoothly ease off
the throttle to slow gradually. Do not
apply the brakes, and do not accelerate
to try to stop the wobble or weave. In
some cases, it helps to shift your body
weight forward by leaning over the
tank.

Handlebars and Footrests
Warning
The rider must maintain control of the
motorcycle by keeping hands on the
handlebars at all times.
The handling and stability of a
motorcycle will be adversely affected if
the rider removes their hands from
the handlebars, resulting in loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
The rider and passenger (if applicable)
must always use the footrests
provided, during operation of the
motorcycle.
By using the footrests, both rider and
passenger will reduce the risk of
inadvertent
contact with any
motorcycle components and will also
reduce the risk of injury from
entrapment of clothing.
